I always avoid the crowns of the peonies, and just put a little underneath the drip lines. This way the mulch is able to decompose slowly over time, adding a bit of organic matter to the soil slowly, just like in nature.<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-6676420292669375722017-04-26T08:27:08.781-04:002017-04-26T08:27:08.781-04:00I have read that fresh arborist mulch is the perfe...I have read that fresh arborist mulch is the perfect mulch but it must be applied a min of 3&quot; to prevent weeds and not act as a fertilizer. But peonies don&#39;t like to be planted deep as do most other perennials in my GA garden. How do you use/apply this mulch around your peonies?

Luckily I had a few empty flower pots at home that worked for the shorter ones, since I bought all 4 buckets they had. :-) None of my buckets or pots blew away, but rocks are a great idea to keep yours in place!

I picked up around 25 small $2 Styrofoam coolers from Walmart last fall, got the idea from the overpriced rose covers I purchased the year before. The rose covers would&#39;ve worked well if I hadn&#39;t trusted the pins to hold them in place--quite a few blew away before I had the chance to remove them, never to be seen again. This year it&#39;ll be rocks on top of both the remaining rose covers and the coolers.Liz Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283017576295387871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-57855837950643984542017-02-28T06:22:38.066-05:002017-02-28T06:22:38.066-05:00Liz,

I&#39;ve only seen it bloom twice now, but have not noticed any pink in it. I&#39;m guessing it is probably not cold enough here for it to die back to the ground. The &#39;Phoenix Pink&#39; 鳳丹粉 &#39;Feng Dan Fen&#39; looks interesting. I&#39;m wondering if it is really that pink. I see from their blog, there is also such thing as a &#39;Phoenix Purple&#39; 鳳丹紫 &#39;Feng Dan Zi&#39;. I wonder if they&#39;ve offered that one for sale?<br />https://crickethillgarden.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/2012-tree-peony-portraits-i/<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-45240301229686513892017-02-27T21:50:54.019-05:002017-02-27T21:50:54.019-05:00One of my Phoenix White&#39;s died back to the gro...One of my Phoenix White&#39;s died back to the ground 3 years ago. I thought I&#39;d lost it but it came back up again from the ground and actually bloomed from the new growth that same spring! Was the only time I&#39;ve seen this but the bloom had the prettiest pinky purple stain surrounding the stamens. I think it was due to a cooler than normal spring instead of the dying back to the ground because another did that same thing the next spring but the flowers were a plain white, it was a much warmer spring....<br />Cricket Hill is offering Phoenix Pink for sale this year, might pick it up if it&#39;s still available later in the year.

However I will have to compare them to see what differences I notice. I know this one has a small pink tint to it that becomes more evident towards the center.

However I cannot yet positively ID the peony, since it has not yet bloomed. It has been growing and thriving thus far, and I am hoping for a bloom on it this spring. If I get one, I&#39;ll be sure to update you on its identity. Also I am planning to create an Ebay sellers review topic to be published soon. So keep an eye out for that...<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-57590563874414766672017-02-01T23:02:31.841-05:002017-02-01T23:02:31.841-05:00Liz,

If...Comments from the venerable Don Hollingsworth:<br /><br />If you do not have the choice to schedule the disturbance until late next summer, divide/replant can work now. However, it can be expected to slow the recovery. Suggest you review the article on moving mature peonies at the web site of my former peony nursery, HollingsworthPeonies.com, before undertaking the move, unless you are an experienced peony grower. Do not replant a large peony whole unless you are able to get the entire root system. When the big storage roots get pruned off during the dig process, it upsets the root::top ratio and one is at risk of getting leafy stems and no flowers for the ten years. Dividing overcomes the root pruning by growing pretty much an entirely new plants during the next couple of seasons.<br /> <br />Don HollingsworthAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.com
